Oh.Em.Gee. I'm writing this in a sugar induced crash....seriously, my sugar addiction has spiraled out of control. I think about it constantly and I will often eat sweets until my stomach hurts. The cravings are ridiculous. I'm now getting headaches if I don't have a sugar fix in the afternoon. I'm totally embarrassed about it and I'm hoping that by outing myself it will be motivation to stick with my plan.
What's the plan you ask? Sugar decontamination!
The rules: No sugary treats, candy, coffee drinks, etc.
The time frame: 30 days with cheat days being Christmas and my birthday.
Coping strategies:
- Carry fruit and nuts in my purse for cravings
- Increase exercise to at least 30 min/day
- Increase water intake to at least 80 oz/day
- I still get my coffee dammit. Just sans any syrups or chocolate.
I sure as hell hope this will reset my bodies "need" for sweets. Anyone have any other helpful strategies?
Yup, I can't believe I'm posting this.
